Concept information

Preferred term

fear reactions  

Definition(s)

  • Children and adults often feel fear while being exposed to the media, and that fear can last for varying lengths of time after the exposure. Violence is a typical source of media-induced fears, but other images and themes also provoke fear in viewers, and there are important developmental differences in this regard.
